2024-2025學(xué)年四川省成都市四川大學(xué)附屬中學(xué)高二下學(xué)期三月月考英語(yǔ)試題一、閱讀理解(★★) Summer Reading Challenge The Summer Reading Challenge, presented by the Reading Agency and funded by Arts Council England, is the UK’s biggest reading for pleasure programme for primary school-aged children. 1 in 5 children cannot read well by the age of 11. The Summer Reading Challenge, with the support of public libraries, is to change this! The Challenge’s launching and finishing dates vary by location, so we recommend getting in touch with your local library service to find out more about the Challenge in your area. How the Summer Reading Challenge Works Children sign up for free through their local library and receive a fun pack. Children set a reading goal and borrow books of their choice during the summer. Library staff and volunteers help children to discover new books that suit their interests and reading level and run a programme of free themed activities in the library. Children who meet their reading goal and complete the Challenge are presented with a certificate and a medal.

(★★★) Recent rapid economic development, changes to agriculture and globalization have impacted the food and drink we consume. At the same time, there have been declining numbers of manual jobs, changes to transport, decreasing levels of physical activity and an increase in inactive habits(including screen time). Advances in technology have also increased time spent using screens, both at work and during leisure time. Therefore, artificial lighting is a modern wonder that we take for granted every day—for its convenience and its harmful effects. According to a pair of recent studies, the problems extend beyond light pollution and into the region of childhood obesity and perhaps even cancer. In a paper published in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers from the Queensland University of Technology studied the sleep, activity and light exposure of 3 to 5-year-olds from six childcare centres in Brisbane, Australia. When they recorded body mass index (指數(shù)) and checked back in 12 months later, they found that slimmer children received the most light exposure in the afternoon. Furthermore, moderate light exposure early in the day(and greater exposure overall) correlated to increased body mass index a year later. The report found strong evidence that spending more time in front of the television or on a computer(at work or at home) increases the risk of weight gain. This finding was particularly strong in children. Obviously, just looking at a screen won’t lead to weight gain, but being inactive for long periods of time can shift your “energy balance”. Sitting long can also affect your appetite, making it harder to recognise when you are full. Screen time can also increase exposure to junk food and drink ads targeting kids. It’s also quite common to snack while watching screens—being distracted can lead to unconsciously eating more. The findings in this report suggest that we should try to limit our screen time and maintain an energy balance. This is something that we can make a conscious effort to be careful of with regular exercise and less screen time.4. What does the author intend to do in the first paragraph?
